Chandler Police Department we're going to have to check on the kid man! That’s my son you can’t do that, That’s my son Think about how scary it is for a kid to get taken away. It's every parent's biggest fear. You're taking my son, dude. I want my mummy I want my mummy But what goes through a kid's mind when they realize someone came to save them? We've got cases of 3 kids who had this happen. These cases are about being scared, then feeling safe, and being brave. On February 25th, 2019, something serious went down. The people at Chandler Police Department's Child Services got a call from a clinic. They said a 2-year-old kid was super sick with a crazy high fever, but his parents wouldn't take him to the doctor. The clinic had already checked him out and found his fever was a whopping 105°! They told the parents to rush him to the ER, pronto. But guess what? The kid never showed up at the ER. So, the clinic got worried and called Child Services, who then rang up the police. The cops got to the kid's house at 10:40 p.m., ready to help out, and started trying to get inside. Over at Chandler PD, the officers were knocking on the door for ages. [Knocking door] They even tried calling the dad, Brooks Bryce but he wasn't picking up. for a press one for more option. Hello This is Officer Cassie with Chandler PD. I'm trying to get in contact with Brooks Bryce, just in regards to your son, The officer decided to ring up the child's doctor to get the lowdown. Why? The child hasn't gone to a hospital yet. Right. I just wanted to ask about what kind of medical problem he had today when he saw you. Sure. Can you just give me a rundown on what it was A fever over 102 degrees in little kids is super serious, and this kid had a fever of 105! That kind of heat can hurt a kid, maybe even cause big problems that last forever. And nobody knew how long the poor kid had been this sick. Things were getting urgent. Then the Chandler PD guys got hold of Brooks Hi, is this Brooks? This is. Hi Brooks, This is Officer Cassie with Chandler PD. How are you doing tonight? I’m Fine. stop banging on my door lets my kids sleep OK, so here's our problem. Basically, the reason why we're knocking on your door is because we need to check on your son he's doing fine his fever broke, he's under 100 degrees he's doing just fine. OK, well, we need to see it for ourselves. And, no you don't need to we need to talk to you outside. So why don't you come outside so we can talk about this? No, thank you. Brooks just wasn't listening to the cop's requests. Brooks [Knocking door] I saw the hand (opening blinds) Like I said here, your options either come out here, talk to us so we could figure out how we're going to get your kid to the hospital or DCS is going to take temporary custody of your kids. So, the cops at DCS asked a judge to let them take the kid for a bit. The officer gave it one more shot before making a big move to help the child. Hello? Brooks. Yes, sir. Do I need to repeat myself what I said outside the window? I could'nt hear you through the window and talk to you on the phone. OK. All right. Here's your first option. You come out and talk to us. Why do you want to take my kids? We have DCS here. that's going to take temporary custody of your kids if you don't come out and talk to us. You're making this way more worse than it needs to be. Now, my kids are fine, Brooke. Okay Okay, Brooks If they're fine, then why don't you make this simple and come out and talk to us? They're not going to force me to go to the hospital for treatment..... Well, here's the thing. The doctors, all the doctors told you what was going on with your son. And they said that they strongly still told you to go to the hospital and get them checked out. because, his fever didn't break His fever broke, gave him a bath and, His fever broke he's doing fine. Look, Brooks, I talked to the doctors already, and they said that this could be a possible life threatening situation, It is not. Listen listen. listen, I know you're saying that the fever broke now and he's feeling better. But OK, ...go to the hospital. No, no, no. Well, Brooks, we need you to come outside and talk to us. You know, if, like I said, if you don't come out and talk to us and we have to deal with this, it make this even worse than it needs to be, then those kids will be taken away. And you guys are going to be in some serious trouble. Because as of right now, you were told by the doctors that you that he needs to go to an emergency room that was told to you guys and we have all the information from all the doctors, that thing. Now, you knowing that makes it even worse for you guys because it's going to be it could be a felony charge The cop was trying hard to get Heber some help fast, but his dad Brooks kept making up excuses that didn't make any sense. Brooks even said his other two kids, who are four and six, were sick too, but he insisted they didn't need help. In the background, the officer could hear coughing. The officer gave them one last chance before deciding to bust in. Sarah, this is Chandler Police Department with Department of Child Services. You need to come to the door and you need to come now.

The scariest thing? They found a gun in the bedroom, and it wasn't even locked up. That's super dangerous. The police took Heber into their care and rushed the other two kids to the hospital. Both parents were charged with child abuse, a serious crime. Moving on, we turn to the chilling case of the next children. Her incident is upsetting and scary. So, we’re going to find out what happened to this child. It was a chilly October night in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The cops got a call from a neighbor, really worried about the little boy next door. He thought the boy's mom and her boyfriend were up to no good, and hurting him. So, he rang up the cops. They thought it'd be a sad but usual case of family trouble. But, they had no idea what they were walking into. Hello. Police Department. We're here to check on a kid, man. Who lives with you? Huh Only my mom. Your mom? Yeah, she's in the hospital right now. We got a phone call that there was a kid abuser Inside here, justice department. Well, that’s me and my girlfriend. The scene was about to take a turn. Nobody expected. We got a call that there's a kid in this apartment My son? Yeah. Your son? He doesn't look well. So that's why we're here to check on him. Yeah. He fell off the bed the other day. So he kinda bruised himself. we're going to have to check on the kid one way or another. So you can make this harder. You can make it easy. The cops kept asking the mom and her boyfriend about the little boy. The boyfriend was dodging the questions, but the mom? She kept saying the boy fell off the bed. Again, and again. That's when the cops knew something was off. They decided to go in and see the boy themselves. They soon found out just how bad it was. We'll follow you in bro. Is the lights working? [inaudible] I just have to with my bill so high. Like I said, he's crazy. He jumps. Let me talk to him. He rolled off the bed. Are you thinking, what i’m thinking? Hey, wait, wait, wait.

The cop realized the boy was hurt and had to take him away. That's when the mom went after the cop. Later, in the patrol car, the officer saw just how bad the kid's injuries were. Back at the house, the mom and her boyfriend were still giving the cop a hard time, not answering questions. The mom even tried to blame the kid's real dad, who hadn't been around for weeks.
